  From a hardware perspective I need more storage. Am thinking I’ll probably end up with a second Synology NAS unit before the end of the year with 4 hard drives at whatever a reasonable price vs size point it at the time I do it (likely 12-14Tb drives at this stage). Bought drives 2 at a time last time so I’m running two RAID1 pairs right now on the existing unit - adding 4 new drives at once to the home lab will let me move all that content to the new drives and reformat the existing ones into a RAID5 array and get an extra 12Tb of storage.

  The one I already have does support adding the 5 drive expansion bay, but figuring that with a second NAS I can move some of my Docker instances currently running on a dedicated laptop onto the second NAS which takes one computer out of the setup as well.

  Maintenance wise I’ve just only done my 2024 maintenance stuff that I do each year. This year it was going through my password vault and making sure everything was synced up, had complex passwords, had two factor enabled where applicable, etc, as well as setting up unique email addresses for every service I’m using (they just forward to the same inbox) to help me track who’s been selling my info. Have already found a local fast food outlet who has from that.

  Have also rotated all my SSH keys, made sure they were all upgraded to Ed25519 from RSA, set up unique keys for the three devices I regularly use so I can revoke one individually if required, made sure all my hardware was running the latest updates (my RPi running my Pi-hole instance was still on Buster so I had to get that updated before I could even update Pi-hole), etc.

  Also swapped my Mullvad connection on my gateway to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN since they’re dropping support later this year.

  Honestly I’d love to invest in some sort of rack mounting for home, its something I should look into some more, but right now I just have a whole section of the wardrobes in my study for equipment and tech storage. It’s working for now although I worry about it in summer with not a massive amount of heat dissipation in there. This weekend is supposed to be close to 40 degrees Celsius both days 🥵

  I know it’s not out yet but I feel pretty confident adding Persona 6 to this list too.

  I always knew it as zee growing up. It worked in the rhyme.

  “W, X, Y and Zee, now I know my A B Cs, next time won’t you sing with me” (that last line is probably a separate argument on its own 😂).

  Then Dragon Ball Z hit Australian TV and it was done after that.
